I too am a great fan of the .338 WM. I have used it in the US as well as Russia and Africa. It has never failed to impress me. The caliber hits a lot harder than it's ballistics would lead you to believe. In fact, two years ago when my son was 14, we were able to convince the game scout to look the other way while he took a 38" cape buffalo with one shot with my .338 WM. The 240 gr. North Fork broke both shoulders and took out both ventricles. The buffalo staggered about ten feet then fell. Dead as canned lobster. Don't sell the .338 WM short !
